He spent his last two years in the Wolfe Living Center in Harrah. He was well cared for and found many wonderful friends. Hospice was there in every way to ease his transition from this life.
He passed with ease and was very peaceful with loved ones at his side.
His wife Martha wishes to say how grateful she is to all those who lovingly cared for him these last two years. She thanks you from the bottom of her heart and prays that God blesses you.
